Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]
Chapter 1: Time Traveling When Misfortunes Never Come Alone
"What's wrong with me?" When Lin Xiangyu woke up, he found that he seemed to have been replaced.Who is this American man in the mirror?Typical western build, but with Asian brown pupils and black hair.
"Mr. Sherman, I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound." Just when Lin Xiangyu was still confused, a little blond nurse came in pushing a small cart.She seemed very happy to see Lin Xiangyu recovered, and she also had a bright smile on her face.
"What do you call me? Who is Little Sherman?" Lin Xiangyu asked back.
"My God!" said the pretty-faced nurse, covering her mouth in surprise. "I'll call the doctor, but, Mr. Sherman, you must stay in bed. After such a terrible car accident, your body is still intact." Not cured."
With the support of the nurse, Lin Xiangyu lay back on the hospital bed.Just when Lin Xiangyu was about to recall something, a large amount of memories flooded into his brain like sea water.Stimulated by the vast amount of memory, Lin Xiangyu fainted with a scream.At this time, the nurse didn't care about her own image, she called for help loudly while pressing the emergency call button above the hospital bed.While Lin Xiangyu was in a daze, he only felt that someone rushed in, and then all kinds of equipment were connected to him, and then he passed out completely.
In the dream, he discovered that his name was Jed Sherman, and he was the only heir to the Sherman family in Los Angeles.Although known as the "Los Angeles Sherman Family", this family only has themselves and their parents: old Jed Sherman and Lin Siyi.His father is a member of the Sherman family in Massachusetts. This family is a descendant of the founding father Roger Sherman. It is very authoritative in the education and ideological circles.But his father was a rebellious member who loved doing business and came to Los Angeles alone to start his own business.Using the three oil crises and Japan's Plaza Accord to accumulate enviable wealth, but as the heir, Jade Jade has a cowardly character, and he likes movies. He has graduated from the University of Southern California Film School and is planning to make his own film. 's first movie.In his memory, Lin Xiangyu knew that Jade had a car accident on the way to a banquet with his parents...
"Where are my parents?" Lin Xiangyu came to his senses, he seemed to agree with Jed Sherman's identity.In any case, such an identity can give him a comfortable life.He doesn't need to work hard in the investment bank like he did in his previous life, he just needs to spend his time like a normal "FundBaby" now.However, thinking of his parents who also suffered a car accident, Lin Xiangyu felt a lot of reluctance inexplicably.Lin Xiangyu in his previous life did not lack the love of his parents, but Lin Xiangyu, who was working alone in Hong Kong, could not give his parents more money, which made Lin Xiangyu feel very regretful.
"Master, I'm glad you're awake." A man in his fifties appeared in front of Lin Xiangyu. "I just spoke to your doctor, and while you were lucky enough to be uninjured in the car accident, you did have a hit to the brain and it's normal if you forget something. The doctor told you not to try too hard to remember, I'm afraid It can cause damage to your brain."
This person told Lin Xiangyu about the matter very clearly, without any unnecessary information.This person is definitely a genius for administrative management or assistant, Lin Xiangyu already felt in his heart that he might be his father's assistant. "Who are you?"
"My God! The young master doesn't even know poor old Bell." The old man's expression was a little moved, "I am your housekeeper, and I have served the Sherman family for 30 years."
"Oh." Lin Xiangyu seemed to have found such a little information in his memory.This old man is one of the old men who came to Los Angeles to start a business with his father, and he was also the one who took care of Jed Sherman when he was young. "Where are my parents?"
Hearing this question, the old man's originally painful expression became more and more painful.He said in a trembling voice, "The master and wife are blessed by God and have already left. The doctor said that the master and wife were already in a deep coma at the beginning of the car accident, and it was not painful to think about it."
"I understand." Lin Xiangyu closed his eyes, a tear running down his face.He suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes and said: "Old Bell, I want to know why that truck appeared there? If I remember correctly the city traffic regulations of Los Angeles, such a heavy-duty vehicle cannot drive in the urban area. And there's a speed limit on that road.—Yes, old Bell, what I'm asking is, was the crash by design? Were my parents murdered?"
Old Bell looked at this usually weak young master with some surprises, and now the killing intent revealed in his eyes was definitely not what he usually had, which reminded him of old Sherman's decisive killing.However, the old Bell didn't wonder if his young master had been replaced with an inner core, but felt that stimulated by the news of his parents' death, the child who had grown up in the greenhouse finally really grew up.There is no need for Jed to remind such an obvious problem. Old Bell has naturally arranged for people to investigate.Although the old Jed Sherman is considered an outsider, he naturally has his own connections and network with a huge net worth.Under Old Bell's investigation regardless of cost, Old Bell already had a list of suspects in his hands during the ten days when Jr. Jed Sherman was in a coma.But these people on the list are not something the current Sherman family can fight against, because they are too huge.Old Bell didn't dare to mention this list, who knew if his young master would do something irrational in his anger.Any irrational behavior towards these will inevitably lead to the end of the young master's life.
Seeing the old Bell's silence, Jed Sherman said: "'The more profits, the greater the suspicion', tell me, who can benefit from the death of my parents? Then make a list of those who have had trouble with our family. Doing a cross-comparison, the list of suspects should be very fast, right?"
"Yes, it's not difficult." Old Bell was very excited, watching the grown-up child finally grow into an adult.It's a pity that the master and wife can't see it, otherwise they might be so happy. "But these people are not the young master can touch now, the young master can't take revenge, and he can't even have the idea of revenge."
"I won't do stupid things." Jed responded lightly, "It's not a little guy who can make such a big deal."
"Yes." Old Bell thought for a while, and replied in a low voice, "At present, the two consortiums, the California Consortium and the Sony Consortium, are the most suspected! The California Consortium has been recruiting the master, but the master declined them all. And the master recently because of Investing in Northrop Grumman was not pleasant with them. As for the Sony consortium, the master was one of the leaders who attacked the Japanese yen after the "Plaza Accord", and the master was hated by the Japanese government for this reason. Moreover, the Sony consortium's investment in Los Angeles has been intercepted by the master several times, and the relationship between the two parties is very tense."
"It won't be the California consortium." Jed quickly gave his own analysis, "They are one of the top ten consortiums in the United States, and there is no reason to fall out with a small person like our family. And although they are somewhat involved with the Italian Mafia , but the principle of the mafia is never to involve family members, and this car accident obviously violated their principles. Go ahead and investigate the Japanese, this style of dirty and genocide is very much their style.— —Old Bell, is it safe here?"
The old Bell was also taken aback when he heard Jed say "Kill it all". Fortunately, the security company he hired was fairly professional and did not cause Jed any trouble.If someone really continues to attack, I'm afraid there will be no one left in the Sherman family. "Mr. Sherman, should we contact the people in Massachusetts?"
Now the old Bell has been regarded by Jed as the speaker of Sherman in Los Angeles, so he gave a relatively good suggestion.No matter how unhappy the old Sherman was with Massachusetts, old Sherman and Jed were members of the Sherman family after all, and the Sherman family would never let them go.Jed also knew that he had no ability for the time being, so he nodded in agreement. "Let the people over there put some pressure on the Los Angeles government, and at the same time lead the case to the murder case, forcing the other party not to dare to do it again." Jed originally guessed that the other party would not make a second shot, but for his own life, he still Better to be cautious.
After listening to Jed's instructions, Old Bell left to prepare, but Jed leaned on the hospital bed and smiled wryly.Originally, because I came here as a playboy, I didn't expect to encounter a murder case as soon as I came here, and I don't know if my life can be saved.But in fact, apart from Jed who can't sleep, there are many people in Los Angeles who can't sleep.The death of a well-known local businessman and philanthropist in a car accident has caused great embarrassment for the Los Angeles Transit Police Department.In particular, this car accident has nothing to do with the Sherman family, and how the big truck that caused the accident entered the downtown area of Los Angeles and dared to speed has become a hot topic of discussion in the major media in Los Angeles recently.And just tonight, many media outlets received an anonymous letter, which contained a lot of evidence alluding to the fact that the cause of the car accident was not simple, and that it was most likely a murder case.This will cause headaches for the Los Angeles Police, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, and the Los Angeles government. What’s more, the Sherman family in Massachusetts, in an interview with the New York Times, questioned the efficiency of the Los Angeles police. .What started as a car accident in Los Angeles became a murder that caught the attention of the entire United States as The New York Times reported.
And just when the media and the government were arguing, Jed Sherman had been secretly discharged from the hospital under the arrangement of the old Bell and returned to his home in Beverly Hills.After all, Jed's injury is no longer serious, and it is completely within the control of the Sherman's family doctor.The reason for going home is not only to be careful of the murderer's attack again, but also to avoid the harassment of reporters.But returning home does not mean that everything is going well, because just as Jed was heading home, the person in charge of the "Sherman Family Development Fund" followed him.The reason for his coming is very simple. Due to problems with the fund, he is currently on the verge of bankruptcy.Jed couldn't help laughing bitterly, it seems that his life as a rich second generation is destined to be a sad reminder!
The author has something to say: FundBaby literally translates to "fund baby".In the United States, in order to avoid inheritance tax and worry about their offspring ruining their family business, wealthy people generally set up a foundation, such as the "Sherman Family Development Fund" in the article.The foundation becomes the owner of the property of the rich, and then hires professional managers to manage the property.And their descendants obtain living expenses through the fund.Therefore, FundBaby is generally a dude who came from a wealthy family but has no skills, and everyone understands it as "the second generation of rich".Half an hour later is the second update!
